Is New-Orleans in Bangladesh?

It makes no sense that the most powerful country in the world would let it's citizens drown and starve. The images look like they're from some 3rd world country without resources and infrastructure.

If this doesn't show what a horribly immoral person Bush is, I don't know what will. Did you know that the levees in New-Orleans for more than a decade have been known as the number 1 problem spot that needed to be taken care of. Bush actually reduced the funding for taking care of this problem. Now, tens of thousands of people may be dead because of his and his cronies' greed.

wtf is wrong with you? Don't you know that we needed that money to fight the War on Terror?!

The repair invoice would be about ten billion at this point, right?

I'm truly pissed about N.O. I like that city a lot. Cool architecture. Cool people. Always a party. And it's the birthplace of jazz with great jazz spots.

The failure of the levy system can't be blamed on bush ... sure he cut the 14 billion funding from the "repair" project but how many before have just taken the billions of dollars and ran away without doing a damn thing?

The coastal errosion and the pending doom was nothing new and everyone living there knew it was only a matter of time till something bigger than a cat 3 storm hit the area. Of course the oil and gas companies are big problems down there causing the coastal errosion but Bush's policies can't be all blamed for what happened.

However, the severe mis-management and the lack of the required resources to help the poor bastards down there recover (or survive for now) is a big indication of where this administrations priorities lie. As one survivor was seen saying on CNN, they dropped more food more quickly on Iraq than they have in New Orleans.

I hope you're being sarcastic. Because not only we're not fighting any wars on terror, but we've spread terror in a country that didn't have any to begin with and we've made Iraq the training ground for the terrorists. I'm sooooo happy to see the National Guard convoy get there FINALLY after 5 days.....

Let this be a lesson to city-planners everywhere: Don't build cities on river deltas.

[Sip]

... and more importantly, don't build them 14 feet under the water level when you have one of the world's largest rivers on one side, a huge lake on the other, and an ocean on the third side.

Did you guys like how the conservative media, like FOX basically said that it was the "Negros" fault. Man, how I love their thinking.

[CatWoman]

The scarier thing is that the city is now being run by thugs... water is not the only problem, people are being killed and raped... They shoot at helicopters going there for help! It's amazingly sick.

You guys should donate if you can.

That sounds funny if you read it. You start of describing the horror of the situation and then ask us to donate
